The Method Successfully Employed for
Thirty Years by an Eastern Farmer.
Take your cattle on your barn floor
and provide yourself with good sharp
whip, one that you can handle quick
and just as you want it. and by using
the whip with the word, get them, first,
so you can drive them around the floor.
side by side; then by the whip and the
word coming together, you can very
soon teach them the word ''whoa." !"
AS soon as they learn to stop at this
word, let them stand while you may
walk up on either side or between them.
After these things are learned you can
soon get them ready for the yoke. I
should hang the bows on their necks
while training to the first things, so
they may get used to having something
on their necks; then yoke them to-
gether and give them a few more turns
about the floor before going into the
yard or road. have succeeded in get
ting them in shape to drive in half a
days work on the floor. To be sure OF
well broken pair they should have Il
little training every day for q week or
so. In training them to draw, load
light, and never get more than they
can draw easily for the first few months,
and you will soon have pair of cattle
that will surprise you with their
strength.
All oxen that are well broken should
be so that you can leave the whip at the
barn and go into the field with plow,
or hay or grain wagon, and bring in
what you want, or plow until you are
ready to quit. With over thirty years
experience in using oxen, l never had a
pair but would do these things. Be
very careful not to use the whip too
much, but when it is necessary, put it
where it tells.
Never let q man work with your
oxen that does not know as much as
they do, and you may be sure of the
best and most faithful team that can be
found.
1 have often wondered why so few
farmers had good yoke of cattle.
They are the best investment farmer
can make. One-half the grain fed to
them that is fed to horse team will
give you pair of cattle that will turn
as much sod in day as your horses
Crowded they are broken as they
should beg, and if a leg is broken you
have some good beef; besides they are
exemptfrom ring-bones, spavins, curbs,
heaves and the scores of things horses
are liable to.-H. S. Matteso7, IN Ohio

Near the Geological Gardens, Phila,

Head Keeper Byrne, of the garden,

never lifted his eyes from the paper
until just as the locomotive was about
to hurl him into eternity he coolly
stepped off the track, and as the cylin-

turned to Mr.. Byrne, who had jumped

CHECKERS.
The following are few hints
which it is well to bear in mind in
playing game in checkers.
Play for draw.
If your opponent plays game
which you cannot draw notice his
moves well and when at leasure study
out an opposing game. Remember,
however, that perfect game cannot
be beaten, so study always to draw.
Don't try to whitewash your oppo-
nent at any stage of the game, for by
SO doing you will inevitably lose
strength and may be beaten.
In ordinary the odds Of a man win.
There must be motive for every
move. The question then should be:
Why do move this! Why did he
move that? Answer these questions
by calculating the effect of every
playable move your opponent makes.

NEW YORK, June 4.-Sometimes | doubt
if any man can judge of the success of play
by reading il. "Jim, the Penman,n which
is one of the most pronounced hits Of the
English speaking stage, was hawked about
London for years before any manager could
be induced 10 produce it, It had every
chance too, for its author, Sir Charles
Young, was well known to all of the English
stage people, and was on good terms of per-
sonal friendship with the more prominent
and influential London managers. Despite
all the influence that he could bring to bear
on them, they refused 10 bring out this play
until he was enabled TO secure a manager
against loss. Then the drama was produced.
and it is still Itlnning TO the biggest houses in
London.
The play was given to Mr. A. NJ Palmer,
manager Of the Madison Square Theatre, to
read before its London production. Mr.
Palmer is one of the shrewdest and most
cultivated of American managers. He

ing what has been done about his claim OF
$4,000 for imprisonment and for damages
against the government of Mexico, which
he presented to our State Department
shortly after his release by Mexico last
summer. No response has been made to
him, for the reason that none is believed to
be necessary. His claim is prepos-
terously absurd He ought to hava
been satisfied with his release, which would
never have occurred had it not been for the
vigorous interposition of Secretary Bayard.
Cuttings attempt to secure a money i'm
demnity from Mexico for damages which
he did not suffer for $50 would reimburse
him at the most generous estimate of his
losses) simply interferes with the negotia-
tions which Secretary Bayard is conducting
with view to the establishment and recog

that il has no power to make a general sus1

died OF yellow fever at the hospital last
night, making five deaths so far. There

Health has declared the fever epidemic, and
VIII not any longer insist on removing the
patients to the hospital This action will
probably be very beneficial, as many cases
occur In private houses, where the patient
can have comforts and nursing not to be
